Pittsburgh's 50 Finest

Oh, to be young, single, have a successful career and the world at your fingertips! Some people can dream, and some people are livin’ the dream. Each year, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Western PA nominates 50 individuals to raise money and awareness for the cause. You might have seen some 50 Finest events here and there around town or on the Facebooks, but what you don’t realize is some of these events are actually pretty cool!
Take, for example, tonight’s CF fundraiser at Stage AE – hosted by two nominees, Renee Lutz and Allison Potter, featuring a ton of sweet local bands and raffles from some top destinations and sport teams in the city. The lineup includes Caleb Lovely, Joy Ike, Nomad, Anthony Rankin, 28 North, Meeting of Important People and Lovebettie. There’s something that’s sure to cater to everyone’s musical tastes. Be sure to bring extra cash for some of these sweet auction items:

There are going to be some happy peeps walkin’ outta that place tonight! Can’t make the event? Donate to Renee here.

Another cool 50 finest event to take note of is coming up July 23 at Bakery Square. B/Side is an art and fashion extravaganza hosted by Martin P, one of this year’s nominees. At $65 a pop, this event includes a gift bag filled with goodies and complimentary food and bevs – alcoholic, of course! Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
